SAD-IRON.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 683,293, datedSeptember 24, 1901. Application filed December 13, 1900. Serial No.39,623. (No model.)

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, KARL ANTON KAISER, a citizen of the United States,and a resident of the city of New York, (Long Island City, borough ofQueens,) in the county of Queens and State of New York, have invented anew and Improved Sad-Iron, of which the following is a full, clear, andexact description.

The invention relates to gas-heated sadirons; and its object is toprovide a new and improved sad-iron which is simple and durable inconstruction, arranged to insure a uniform heating of the base of thesad-iron, and to prevent overheating of the point of the iron.

The invention consists of novel features and parts and combinations ofthe same, as will be fully described hereinafter and then pointed out inthe claims.

A practical embodiment of the invention is represented in theaccompanying draw ings, forming a part of this specification, in whichsimilar characters of reference indicate corresponding parts in both theviews.

Figure lis a perspective view of the improvement, and Fig. 2 is alongitudinal sectional elevation of the same.

The improved sad-iron has a base A, over which is arranged aheatingchamber B, having the major portion of its bottom B' rising fromthe base A, said major portion being inclined downwardly and rearwardly,as is plainly indicated in Fig. 2, said major portion B forming, withthe front of the said iron, a space C to prevent overheating of thepoint D, as hereinafter more fully described. On the horizontal top ofthe heating-chamber B are arranged lugs E, to which is secured byset-screws or other means the base F of the handle F, adapted to betaken hold of by the operator to move the sad-iron about to iron in theusual manner.

In front of the heatingchamber B opens the burner G, discharging itsiiame upon the high portion of the bottom B', and this burner Grconnects with a channel H, extending at a right angle to the burner Grin the front end of the sad-iron. A pipe I connects with the upper endof the channel H, and this pipe extends through an eye 'J on the handleF, and the pipe I connects Vby a flexible hose with a suitablegas-supply and permits the operator to move the sad-iron. about to irorithe desired material in the usual manner. A door K closes the rear endof the heatingchamber B, as indicated in the drawings.

By the arrangement described it will be seen that when the sad-iron isin use and the gas is ignited at the burner G then the iiame issuingfrom the burner strikes the high portion of the bottom B' and is thendefiected into the rear enlarged portion of the chamber B to insure auniform heating of the entire base A to permit proper ironing. It willalso be seen that by the arrangement described the space C between thepoint D and the high portion of the bottom B' prevents overheating ofthe point, and consequently the material to be ironed is not liable tobe damaged.

Having thus fully described my invention, I claim as new and desire tosecure by Letters Patent l. A sad-iron having a base with a point, aheating-chamber over said base and having the major portion of itsbottom rising from said base, said major portion being inclineddownwardly and rearwardly and terminating at its front end a distancefrom the front of the chamber, to form a space and thereby preventoverheating of said point, the bottom of said space being below thebottom of the heating-chamber, as set forth.

2. A sad-iron having a base with a point, a heating-chamber over saidbase and having the major portion of its bottom rising from said base,said major portion being inclined downwardly and rearwardly andterminating at its front end a distance from the front of the chamber,to form a space and thereby prevent overheating of said point, and agasburner in the front end of said chamber and arranged to deliver itsiiame to the upper portion of said bottom in a direction away from saidspace, as set forth.

In testimony whereof I have signed my name to this specification in thepresence of two subscribing witnesses.

KARL ANTON KAISER..
